Adobe Premiere CS5 and CS6 freeze my computer

Hello,
I recently built myself a new computer and installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on it:
COOLER MASTER HAF 932 case
Core i7-3930K 3.2GHz CPU
Noctua NH-D14 CPU Fan
32GB of DDR3 G.Skill 12800 RAM
128GB Crucial M4 SSD HDD (as the C drive)
3 2TB Seagate HDD's RAID 5 (software is up to date)
Antec HCG-900 900 watt PSU
EVGA nVidia GeForce GTX 480 video card
Bluray/DVD drive
All of the parts are brand new. The problem is that I installed the Adobe CS6 Master Collection and every time I try to use Premiere (on any new or old projects) and make any video edits - the entire computer freezes. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, sometimes it takes nearly an hour of video playback and/or editing to freeze. I am going crazy trying to figure out what is going wrong. I do not get any bluescreen errors or anything in the Event Viewer (other than a notice saying the computer shut down improperly due to the fact that I had to hold in the power button). The odd thing is that it seems to work in Safe Mode every time, thus making me think it's a software issue. The other strange thing is that I've left Premiere open all day and night and the computer would not freeze - it only seems to happen when I'm making edits or playing back video.
What I have tried thus far:
Reinstalling Windows (with no antivirus or extra programs)
Updated Adobe Premiere CS6 (I also tried CS5)
Installing Windows Updates
Windows Memory Diagnostic (no errors found)
Updating all drivers
Alternate video card (GTX 460)
Installed a PCI sound card and disabled onboard sound
I tried maxing out the CPU (very difficult to do) with other programs besides Premiere - no freezing
Installed Core Temp to monitor CPU temperature - it never got above 65 degrees and was generally in the 45-50 degree range, so I'm sure it's not overheating
Tried only one 8GB stick of RAM to see if maybe it was memory - it still froze
I may have tried a couple other things, but that's all I can remember for now. Needless to say, this is a problem I've never even heard of. My only other thought is to try a different hard drive and/or PSU. Any ideas?
Your time and expertise is very much appreciated.
Also, please let me know if there's a more appropriate place to post this.
Thanks!
PS
I noticed one other member had the same problem (still unresolved as of April) and they had the same video card and SSD drive I do. However, they, like me, changed their video card and it made no difference...

Safe Mode disables a lot of drivers and services, like networking.  That would seem to indicate that something is running on your system that interferes somehow.
I'm just not sure how you'd go about tracking that down.

  • HT3775 which Video format is best for adobe premiere CS5 and CS6

    I would like to know which video format to import in adobe CS%- CS^  because it looks like it's kind of slow. when I import the video file as mts

    FCP is a quicktime based NLE and your footage would be most compatible if with if encoded in the Quicktime Movie file format (MOV)
    As far as quality goes, DV is a codec (and not an especially high quality one), AVI and MOV are container formats and can contain a huge variety of different codecs which can vary greatly in quality.

  • Adobe Premiere CS5 and Open Directory users - Premiere fails to start

    We have several class rooms with desktops that are configured for Open Directory.
    When a student logs in he's actually working in his home folder on the server and his user is also managed by the server.
    This works fine for all the applications that we're using except for Adobe Premiere CS5 and Adobe After Effects CS5. Whenever a student tries to start one of them the application will hang and only a force quit can stop it. It is impossible to start these applications.
    However, it is possible to use Premiere and After Effects using a local standard on the desktops. But I don't want to go that route. I want the managed users to be able to use those applications.
    Has anyone found a solution for this?
    Are you able to use this applications in a same environment?
    I've played a lot with the permissions on the library, system and Adobe folders, but the problem doesn't seem to be related to them.
    Setup:
    AFP Server: Xserve intel running Mac OS X Server 10.6.5
    OD Servers: Mac Mini Servers running Mac OS X Server 10.6.5
    Clients: iMacs intel running Mac OS X 10.6.6

  • Adobe Bridge CS5 and CS6 need to uninstall

    CS6 uninstall is in the folder of Photoshop itself in the applications folder, I suspect CS5 also has this but can't check myself.

  • Optimizing 780ti CUDA for Adobe premiere cs5.5, cs6, and CC

    I Finally got my video card for my new rig . Found a great deal for the Zotac GeForce GTX 780 Ti OC
    The only thing now is optimizing the GPU acceleration.
    I would like to believe that I have performed the cuda hack correctly, but a few things leave me unsure.
    I used this site to perform the Cuda hack. http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5-2.htm
    GPU Hardware acceleration is enabled  on Premiere, and no GPU errors occurred since it was already left on this setting.
    I haven't tried it on CC or CS6 yet since most of my projects are on cs5.5 at the moment, but i will soon.
    I do notice that rendering is a little faster, but seems to only shave off 5-7 minutes from 25 minute render times. Benchmarks all over the net, including here,  seem to imply that times could increase by as large as a factor of 10, but I haven't seen anything close. The GPU load is also averages about 10% with spikes up to 80% whilst rendering.
    The number one thing that has been disappointing is the playback. Under heavy graphics on the timeline, my videos are still unplayable. I expected this when I had a radeon 6790, but not with a gtx 780ti that has cuda cores.
    Anyone have any ideas on what I could have done wrong?
    Specs:
    CPU i7 4930K @ 4.5 GHz
    Motherboard: Rampage IV Extreme
    Ram: 32GB
    Video Card: GTX 780ti OC
    PSU: Seasonic 1050w Gold
    HDD: Samsung Evo 500GB
    Other Hard drives amount to 7TBs in total, Unraided
    Windows 7. 64 bit

    So do you suggest I raid the boot disk? Didn't think I would need to, it's already really fast. Aren't SSDs usually standard for boot disks?
    I have 4 HDDs
    2 3TBS
    1 2TB
    and 1 500GB
    I plan on making some HDD upgrades for raiding purposes. But I didn't think that my current HDDs would be the major reason for the poor performances of the card to such an extent...
    Well thanks I guess. I'll try buying a 3TB for Raiding and see how that goes...

  • CS5 and CS6 on my computer after upgrading.

    I have had CS5 on my computer and have recently upgraded to CS6. Now I have both on my computer, which I don't want because of the storage issues. Do I uninstall CS5 now that I have CS6? Or does that cause a problem?

    Think CS5 is about 400 meg.
    Rather more than that, I'm afraid.  Look in the Control Panel Programs and Features dialog for a size summary.
    If you have a 64 bit Windows system, these are the sizes of various versions of Photoshop:
    If you have a 32 bit OS the size impact on disk is probably a bit more than half of what you see above.

    Not a problem; not scolding, just suggesting that users there might be of more help, since CS5/CS5.5 is a whole different animal than CS4.
    I suspect that, if setting playback to full resolution didn't help, there's not much you can do with these files as they are. You'll have to convert them to something else. Does the break up appear when you step through the video frame by frame? If not, you could use AME to convert these to something else, which will then let you edit a little more effectively in Premiere Pro.
    EDIT: Sorry, missed that you said that exporting retained the blobs. In light of that, you'll have to look at a third-party converter to flip these. MPEG Streamclip for Windows might work.

  • How do I update Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and Adobe Premiere Elements 9 on a new computer?

    I have previously used both Adobe Photoshop elements 9 and Adobe Premiere elements 9 on my old computer with Windows XP operating system without problems. Now I have a new computer with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit operating system.  I have installed both programs but when I try to update them I get a message saying "The update server is not responding.  The server might be offline temporarily or the internet or firewall setting may be incorrect.  Please try again later." I have tried numerous times with the same result.  I have tried uninstalling both programs and re-installing but still get the same message.  What do I have to do to be able to update these programs so I can get on and use them? The information with the programs says they both work on both Windows XP and 7.

    I am upgrading form Adobe Premiere CS5.5 to CS6 but its says a qualifying product could not be found

    Did you first enter your Creative Suite 6 serial number followed by your Creative Suite 5.5 serial number for Adobe Premiere?  Is Adobe Premiere CS5.5 a upgrade version as well?  If so what did you upgrade from?

  • Nikon CoolPix P7000 and Adobe Premiere CS5.5

    Just purchased Adobe Premiere CS5.5 and want to hook up my Nikon CoolPix P7000 camera to import video.  Any advice related to this camera in particular or cameras in general and capturing video to Premiere would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Kyle

    Capturing is only possible over firewire from tape based cameras. Your material needs to be imported, after you have copied all the data from your card to harddisk, including the complete directory structure.

  • Can I run Adobe Premiere CS5.5 on MacbookPro with Lion??

    For the love of GOD!! Can someone please explain to me why I cannot effectively use Adobe Premiere CS5.5 on my MacBook Pro (Lion OS)??? I've tried getting all updates from both Adobe and Apple, still no luck. Playback is horribly choppy, resolution is diminished and the program appears to be useless...no one at Apple seems to know anything about Adobe. Sorry if this quesiton has already been proposed, but is their a basic overall solution to get Premiere to run on lion???

  • Windows edited/saved project crashing on  mac (adobe premiere cs5)

    hi there
    i really hope you can help.
    i have edited video files on adobe premiere cs5 on a windows 7 machine and saved the project ffiles on an external drive formy friend to colour grade and finalise etc
    he can open the video files in adobe premiere, but its crashing his mac system and some video files arent opening
    he says he has all the latest codec files but it has gone to the extent of the files crashing his system and it won't boot..
    my files were a mixture of mpeg and avi files...
    is there anything that can be causing this problem.
    he is in a different city from me, so i am not going to see him for a while and i want these video files edited as soon as really
    thanks and i hope you can suggest thingss that may help finding the problem

    Welll you wont be able to if you do not have the computer anymore.
    Do a search on EDLs in Premiere (or any NLE) so you know about them for next time.
    Whatever...I suspect the issue is at your colleagues end and needs to be sorted there.  Someone with a Mac may chime in on how PPRO win project files and PPro Mac project files work.

    charmi,
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • .FCP files in Adobe Premiere CS5

    I'm using Adobe Premiere CS5 at work - on a PC. I just got several hours of video footage that's been captured in Final Cut Pro. The footage is in the .FCP format and need to be imported into Adobe Premiere CS5. what is the easiest way of doing this?
    Is it possible to import .FCP files directly into Premiere?
    Any help is appreciated - thank you.

    A .FCP file is not footage; it's a Final Cut Pro project file. There is no way to import that file directly into Premiere. Instead, the project will have to be exported as a Final Cut Pro XML document from FCP--any computer with FCP can do this, so all you have to do is email the FCP file to that individual, who can open it and export as an FCP XML document. When this is emailed back to you, you import it into Premiere as any other asset, and the XML document will be converted to a Premiere Pro project. You can then relink to the media you already have.
    Do note that the FCP -> PPro translation is not 100%; there are some things that don't travel over at all, and some things that don't travel well. Check out the help docs for more information: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSd9957a95a81082eb28f05af5126718c47be-800 0.html
